I am a powerful woman it's hard to
imagine but Jennifer Aniston used to
have serious doubts about her self-worth
stupid boring unattractive not being
able to hold on to a man a sad childless
woman that is what she used to feel like
in the past by the age of 51 Jennifer
Aniston has learned to know her worth
but little did we know that her
confidence stems from years of being
nagged and humiliated by her own mother
and then by every aspect of her life
being studied under the microscope of
publicity if you're looking for some
inspiration or feeling blue and insecure
you've come to the right place Jennifer
Aniston's story of overcoming her
insecurities and dyslexia to rightfully
becoming the Hollywood powerhouse that
she is today
is truly one-of-a-kind subscribe to
rumor juice YouTube channel to always be
inspired at the tender and critical age
of 11 a parental figure approach Jim
after a dinner party to tell her a
certain observation of there's an
observation that Jen would carry with
her into adulthood that person told Jen
she had been excused from the table
because she didn't have anything
interesting to bring into the
conversation even as a confident mature
woman Aniston found it difficult to
dismiss these painful words I always
felt incredibly comfortable giving a
voice to the words of others she said
but put me in a table full of strangers
and I go right back to being 11 years
old it's important to the actress to
change the way we talk to young kids
especially young girls because the
things we say and do can either build
them up or tear them down and make them
feel like maybe their voices don't
matter and Aniston knows firsthand how
it feels when a loved one tears you down
and not only a parental figure at a
dinner party but your own mother as well
jen is found her happy place a while ago
her job her great family and friends are
her sources of happiness today Aniston
is the world's fifth highest paid
actress with a net worth anywhere
between two hundred million dollars and
three hundred million dollars
I have opportunities and I can
acknowledge that I know where I've come
from I know what I've gone through and I
know how fortunate and blessed I am to
be where I am today but all her mother
actress Nancy Dow saw was floss from a
young age Nancy said Jen's eyes were too
close together and too small that her
face is too wide the Jen had her
father's mouth Nancy was an actress in a
model who cared about presentation and
looks the most
she used to tell 13-year old Jennifer to
put her eyes on when going to the market
to Jennifer's confusion she was critical
she was very critical of mate Aniston
recalled the star always adds that her
mom was gorgeous and stunning but not
her and Jen was never the model child
Nancy hoped for Aniston described her
mother is unforgiving and holding petty
grudges that is why Aniston was happy to
leave her mother's house living under
the same roof had its challenges the
mother-daughter relationship suffered
another blow when Nancy published a book
about them in 1999 titled for mother and
daughter to friends a memoir yeah what a
beautiful book everybody should get a
copy
jennifer was so furious she did not
invite her mother to her wedding to Brad
Pitt in 2000 later in life the superstar
learned to understand what made Nancy
the woman she was Nancy's own parents
were basically non-existent
and she learned to use her beauty to
make a living by modeling next Nancy's
marriage to Jennifer's father actor John
Aniston wasn't a happy one I mean
honestly the best thing that came out of
it was my was my sense of humor so she
had to care about Jen and deal with an
absent husband eventually Jennifer came
to realize that her mother was
expressing her love and the only way she
knew how
without knowing that she would be making
deep wounds in 2015
Aniston talked about living with
dyslexia a learning disorder
characterized by difficulty reading due
to problems identifying speech sounds
and learning how they relate to letters
and words the condition had affected
Jenn's education and self-esteem library
she says it was not her favorite place I
thought I wasn't smart Aniston said I
just couldn't retain anything after
being diagnosed she felt like many of
her childhood traumas were explained she
is a powerful inspiration for those
suffering from the same condition I'm
not ashamed of that no no uh-uh no one
should be know from being a poor student
and believing she just wasn't that smart
Jennifer Aniston went on to become one
of the most iconic characters in TV
history and a prolific award-winning
actress director and producer Courtney
and I are here to present an award to
our
[Music]
forever cherished person Fame however
brought her new challenges her two
marriages - Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux
ended up in divorce
although Jen does not consider her
relationships with her exes as failures
there still was public scrutiny and the
public expecting something from her yeah
just don't pay attention best you can a
couple of years ago Aniston was at a
film festival in Italy where a teenage
fan asked if she ever woke up in the
morning and didn't know who she was
there not enough fingers and toes in
this entire room to count how many times
that has happened to me
Jennifer responded candidly and you just
have to sort of somehow miraculously
overcome you just go I can't but yes I
can yes you can Jennifer Aniston says
she has worked too hard in her life to
be reduced to a sad childless human
picture of me with a bump and a circle
around my stomach with an arrow pointing
to it she says it took her years to gain
the confidence that she's worth fighting
for and she is
